Ben Harper Welcome To The Cruel World

You don't believe that I love you And even if that was true Why just to keep our unhappy home I'm gonna try to pretend that I do And I'm breakin' down

this endless path Which has led us in a circle so here we are right back We can't let the future become our past If we are to change the world Won't

Papa he left home today And said he ain't comin' back again He said he ain't gonna be nobody's second best Just 'cause mama's got a special kind of friend

You may write me down in history With your bitter twisted lies You may tread me down in the very dirt And still like the dust I'll rise Does my happiness

Well you can need me well I want you to and you can feed me how I like that too but don't you lead me I won't follow you listen here I don't fear

Welcome to the cruel world hope you find your way welcome to the cruel world hope you find your way it's a cruel world try to enjoy your stay Yes

: Welcome to the cruel world hope you find your way welcome to the cruel world hope you find your way it's a cruel world try to enjoy your stay

: You say what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine too now you've got more than you can spend but all of the money in the whole wide world is

: Not talkin' 'bout a year no not three or four I don't want that kind of forever in my life anymore forever always seems to be around when it begins
